Thou Shalt Take Responsibility for Your Life
Dr. Phil: “Life Law:-You Create Your Own Experience.
Acknowledge and Accept Responsibility for your life”
Stephen Covey: “Taking initiative does not mean
being pushy, obnoxious, or aggressive. It does mean recognizing our responsibility to make things happen.”
Les
Brown: “Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”
Denis Waitley: “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept
the responsibility for changing them.”
Thou Shall Take Action
Dr. Phil McGraw:
“Life Rewards Action. Make Careful Decisions”
Tony Robbins: “Take Massive Action”
Dale
Carnegie: The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets
far from shore
Jack Canfield “Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want
also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.”
Thou Shall Have desire.
Napoleon
Hill: Desire is the starting point of all achievement.
Muhammad Ali: “Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions
are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision.”
Mario Andretti: “Desire
is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -- a commitment
to excellence -- that will enable you to attain the success you seek.”
Earl Nightingale: “The key
that unlocks energy is 'Desire.' It's also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any
real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.”
Thou Shall Set Goals
Tony
Robbins: Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
Aristotle: First, have a definite,
clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials,
and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Maxwell Maltz: People who say that life is not worthwhile
are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working
for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to ''look forward to'' -- to work for and
hope for.
Brian Tracy: “Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon a goal or
goals which they really believe in, which they can really commit themselves to, which they can put their whole heart and
soul into.”
Zig Ziglar “A goal properly set is halfway reached.”
Thou Shalt
Create a Plan
Unknown: If You Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail.
Napoleon Hill: When defeat comes, accept
it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
Mark
Victor Hansen: The majority of people meet with failure because they lack the persistence to create new plans to take
the place of failed plans.
#6: Thou Shalt Pay the Price
Vince Lombardi: “The price of success is hard
work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of
ourselves to the task at hand.
Orison Swett Marden: Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot
be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.
Thou Shalt Have Persistence
Calvin
Coolidge: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world
is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”.
Orison Swett Marden:
“There is genius in persistence. It conquers all opposers. It gives confidence. It annihilates obstacles. Everybody
believes in a determined man. People know that when he undertakes a thing, the battle is half won, for his rule is
to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.”
Thou Shalt Believe
Denis Waitley: “If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe
you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.”
Anthony
Robbins: “If you develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself
to accomplish virtually anything.”
Maxwell Maltz: Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the
result of our own images and beliefs gives us the level that psychology has always needed for changing personality.
David J. Schwartz: “The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals
and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often
easier—certainly no more difficult—than small ideas and small plans.”
Thou Shalt
Learn From Thy Mistakes
Winston Churchill: All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.
Oprah Winfrey: There are no failures, only lessons to be learned.
John Sculley: I have found that I always
learn more from my mistakes than from my successes. If you aren't making some mistakes, you aren't taking enough chances.
Thou Shalt Create A Clear Picture of Your Future and Visualize It
Earl Nightingale: Picture yourself in your
minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your
goal.
Stephen Covey: Create a clear, mutual understanding of what needs to be accomplished, focusing on what,
not how; results not methods. Spend time. Be patient. Visualize the desired result .
Robert L Schwartz: "The entrepreneur
is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer. He can visualize something, and when visualizes it he sees exactly how
to make it happen." --
